Hellas Flying Dog Cask Night Friday the 13th

We haven't heard much out of Hellas in Anne Arundel County lately, but Joey Marchiano sent their regulars a little dispatch which may be of interest to some here:

I know it's been a while since we've had a beer event at Hellas, but
we've got some great ones in the works. The next one is coming up this
week, on Friday the 13th starting at 5pm. We will be hosting a Pint Nite
and Flying Dog will be stopping by, bringing with them a firkin of
their "Disobedience" Abbey-Dubbel Ale (7.6%). As with all of our "Pint
Nite's", your first purchase of one of these great beers gets you a
Flying Dog pint glass that's yours to keep (one per customer, while
supplies last). In addition to the firkin, we will have discounted
prices on "Raging Bitch" on the night of the event and we're also
planning on having a "Gonzo" barrel-aged Imperial Porter on tap.

That's not enough?! Well, we've got more..... Since we've got all
these great beers and we're pretty good in the kitchen too, we figured
we'd put the two together. We're going to have 3 special menu items on
the night of the event.

First one is a "Disobedience, Maple-Glazed Pork Belly". It's a
mouth-watering pork belly glazed with Disobedience beer and maple syrup
atop a sweet potato and corned beef hash with a jalapeno-bacon waffle.

Second item are "Raging Rockfish Sliders". Created to pair with
"Raging Bitch". Panko-breaded fillets of rockfish with sweet corn salsa
and Raging Bitch aioli - served with sweet onion hush puppies.

Last item is a "Gonzo Burger". A bison burger on a sesame potato roll
topped with peppered bacon, frizzled onions, pickled jalapeno,
pepper-jack cheese and a barrel-aged Gonzo reduction - served with sweet
potato fries.

You know, that sounds like a beer Flying Dog needs to ship to Ale Mary's as soon as possible........
